Comment:
Erin's a great teacher, but her attitude is more guilty until proven innocent. She's easy to assume and when you try to explain things, she shoves it back in your face. Her labs were easy and so were the papers, if you paid attention in class and came to lecture. I knew some people who watched the videos instead of coming and they didn't fare well.

Erin is a good teacher. She wants you to pass but I think she shoulder lower her standards just a little bit. As a student, I need a couple of days in order to process the information I learn before I can comprehend it. With her schedule, we were required to do an exam every 1 - 1.5 weeks. 8 exams in total in a 12 week class.. it was crazy!!

Comment:
Brilliant biologist but unintentionally condescending. She answers questions and gives feedback in a way that makes you feel childish for even asking. Students should be comfortable asking for help not chastised. Impatient with alternative learning styles.

I've taken her this quarter for microbiology. We are her first class doing the Tiny Earth project, which is interesting, but has taken away from most of the "normal" microbiology exams. The syllabus is huge and very intimidating. I spend at least 15 hours outside of class a week studying and preparing for labs. <5 things in the gradebook currently.

First of all, gives you a lab manual and makes you RE WRITE it ALL by hand into a journal. There was no purpose to this other than wasted time for me. What was supposed to be an entry class into biology was so hard to understand when your teacher talks too fast, doesnt allow many questions during lecture, and answers questions vaguely.

Erin is very straightforward, and sticks to the material. She is well-organized and knows her material. She is strict about lab procedures, but gives clear instructions. Her tests were challenging but not impossibly hard. As long as you read, review, and then regurgitate the information while studying, you will do fine. Make sure to listen well.

Erin is very smart but not meant to be a professor. She does not answer your questions in class & her tests are written to confuse you. Would not recommend taking!!

Everyone says you can have only beauty or brains, but Erin has both in spades and then some. I would take her class again in a heartbeat. My only question is why hasnt a big name University snatched her up yet?! She is the nicest teacher and cares so much for her students success! Hard content but you will learn lots with this amazing professor!!!

Comment:
She is super nice but is kind of oblivious to her students. She expects every body to learn the way she wants. Seemed like everyone was having some kind of trouble with her but she was responsive to email and willing to help. She gave us a graph todo and got mad when it wasn't the exact way she wanted.

Don't let her Syllabus freak you out, it's like 20 pages long and seems really serious but once you meet Erin she is super nice and wants you to do well. She's very passionate about science. The tests are covered in the study objectives so as long as you watch the lectures and do the objectives you'll do fine.

Comment:
Erin is brilliant but a horrid instructor. She has no business writing any tests as her tests are meant to confuse, not actually test knowledge. If you happen to ask her a question in class she plays dumb and makes you feel dumb for not knowing the answer. She needs to work in a lab... not in a school!

Erin is a fantastic teacher and really makes this class stand out. She is very passionate about her job and biology in general. If you do the objectives for each chapter that she gives you and if you keep up with your lab notebook, you will likely do very well in this class. She cares a lot about her students so do not hesitate to ask questions!

Comment:
Erin is extremely knowledgeable and is great at her job. She expects students to exceed the course material which made the class extremely hard. If you enjoy biology and want a challenge- her class is for you. I spent on average 3-5 hours a day learning and studying her material. She is a hard grader and assigns a lot of material for HW. Study!!!
